us on Friday, July 26, 2002 of a response from a bullying
journalist, Nick Cohen

Bully
Cohen can dish it out, but he can't take it

YOU might be interested in this brief exchange,
prompted by your
website, between myself and journalist Nick
Cohen. I initiated the exchange by writing:

"Ah yes that 'incorrigible Nazi' David Irving. The
trouble is, that the more the media goes on about him and
his alleged sympathies the more people go to his website
and realise that he is not quite as bad as he's been
portrayed. And the more this happens the more people
realise that our 'free press' is in fact presenting us
with a distorted version of events: as they did with
Princess Diana's death (read Tomlinson's
affidavit), and as they are currently doing with the
situation in Iraq and the 'War on Terror'. If it carries
on at this rate the title of journalist will, in a couple
of years, be ranked alongside "child molester." And that
includes you, Mr Cohen."

To which Cohen tersely replied: "F*cking off and dying
remains an option you should consider."

Irving replies:

THANKS for showing me that. Nick Cohen has sent
an identical reply to everybody who wrote to him; several
have contacted me. You might consider mailing a copy of
your correspondence to the editor of The Observer,
[119 Farringdon Road. London EC1R 3ER], and
suggesting that Cohen is not serving the newspaper's
reputation very well by mouthing obscenities.
